Laurel's father was standing five feet from The Arrow for about half the show and he still couldn't figure out it's Oliver.

Or Laurel, or, well, just about anybody.

Must be the voice that's throwing them. "Huh, that guy looks exactly like Ollie...but he sounds completely different, almost like a robot. Maybe it's a robot designed to look like Ollie, to throw suspicion off the robot's manufacturer? Yeah, that must be it! It's the only logical explanation!"

Last week I thought it was Black Canary. And the "sonic thingy" lent itself to that. But Black Canary is Dinah Lance. And we've seen both of them in the same frame. So it's not Laurel Dinah Lance. But it still could be a new take on Black Canary, but I don't know for sure.

I'm so confused!

On the other hand, I thought this was the best episode yet.

No wonder Quinten got busted back to patrolman.
I'm not sure he'll figure it out even if he does see Diggle running around on an operation.

I have to admit that the Dollmaker was very creepy and I liked Quinten discussing his history with him, how it came on the heels of Sarah's death.

Couldn't help noticing that the lawyer was named Tony Daniel.

And the big takeaway was that the Black Leather woman has worked for Ra's Al Ghul.

In the comic book world the original Black Canary was Dinah Drake who married detective Larry Lance and had Dinah Laurel Lance who later became the 2nd Black Canary.

Which makes me think that she's really

Spoiler:

Shado

I don't think so. Mystery woman was clearly concerned about Laurel (she took off like a shot when she saw the text that Laurel was kidnapped), and she also seems to like Arrow mostly (does she know it is Oliver?). What long-lost female character on the show would be concerned about Laurel, and maybe Oliver?

It was a damn good episode, and the Dollmaker was done well. I think with people not recognizing a superhero is just part and parcel of this genre ... hell, Clark Kent just removed his glasses and changed into a cape, and nobody recognized him ...

Yes, but what's simply inexcusably stupid in a comic book looks much worse in live action.

Wearing a deep hood also looks quite ridiculous in live action, especially when he is fighting vigorously. And considering that many of the guys he has to fight would happily take advantage of the terrible obstruction of peripheral vision (and hearing) that the hood creates.

This doll (making) episode was really dark and upsetting to me. I'm not one for slasher fare. I was on the verge of dropping the SP and deleting everything.

I did think that Officer Lance was a bit thick to not look at "The Hood."
Speaking of TV tropes, how about: "The chief says you're off the case. You may be the cop (soldier) who knows the bad best and brought him in last time but you're too close to this. STAND DOWN. THAT'S AN ORDER. ... You were warned! You're busted!"

Something about teh geek cred, those glasses and suit make Felicity teh hawt of all of them.

How about last week: The FEMA trucks keep getting jacked and the drivers and crews shot dead and machine gunned all ta death, but let's send another load out today unprotected. Where did they find more drivers? What would it take for the cops to notice?
